## Description

Dark Sense is an app that runs in the background and automatically switches to dark mode/theme when your device&#39;s light sensor detects low light levels, and switches to light mode/theme when your device&#39;s light sensor detects high light levels.<br><br>*** This app requires a special permission to be able to switch dark mode on/off. You must use ADB to give the app permission. If you don&#39;t know what ADB is, I recommend that you don&#39;t try it, but if you want to try it, you can find many online tutorials about how to install ADB on your computer and link your phone. ***<br><br>How it works:<br>1. Connect your phone to ADB and run the command &quot;adb shell pm grant com.nfwebdev.darksense android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS&quot;<br>2. That&#39;s it! The app will automatically run in the background monitoring the lighting levels of your device&#39;s environment.<br><br>You can choose at what point dark mode should turn on and at what point light mode should turn on, plus more options in Dark Sense settings.
